Conceived as a new kind of informal and affordable theatre, the inaugural production was Molière’s Scapino. To celebrate the 40th anniversary, Dunlop is joined by original company members Anna Carteret and Jim Dale, the theatre critic Michael Billington, and the current Artistic Director, David Lan.
